AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The fluorosilicone product effectively imparts durable water and oil repellency, soil resistance, and improved feel to textiles, outperforming conventional treatments by maintaining softness while enhancing repellent properties.

Problems solved by technology

One of the major disadvantages of topical finishes prepared with fluorocarbon polymers is that they impart a harsh feel to the fabric surface.
This method, however, has the problem that the water- and oil-repellency is decreased.

Siloxane A

[0169]Into a three necked round bottomed flask fitted with a condenser, overhead stirrer and thermocouple were charged first silanol-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (323 g, Mn: about 900), second silanol-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (380 g, Mn: about 300), mercaptopropylmethyldimethoxysilane (230 g), aminopropylmethyldiethoxysilane (27 g), trimethylethoxysilane (42 g), barium hydroxide (0.62 g) and sodium orthophosphate (0.25 g). The reaction mixture was heated to 75° C. and held at this temperature for three hours. Then the volatiles were removed under reduced pressure (200 mbar) at 75° C. for four hours to yield an aminomercaptosiloxane.

[0170]The physical and structural properties of the aminomercaptosiloxane are described in the table below:

After the atmosphere of the autoclave was replaced with nitrogen gas, vinyl chloride (VCM) (52.5 g) was injected. Then, 2,2′-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (3.2 g) was added and the reaction was conducted at 60° C. for 5 hours to give an aqueous dispersion of a polymer having the following structure.

Abstract

A surface treatment agent, which can impart the excellent water- and oil-repellency, soil resistance and feeling to the substrate, is obtained from a fluorine-containing polymer which contains: (A) a monomer which comprises; (A1) a fluorine-containing monomer of the formula: CH2═C(—X)—C(═O)—Y—Z—Rf wherein X is a hydrogen atom, a monovalent organic group, or a halogen atom, Y is —O— or —NH—, Z is a direct bond or a divalent organic group, and Rf is a fluoroalkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and (A2) a (meth)acrylate monomer having a cyclic hydrocarbon group, and (B) at least one functional organopolysiloxane selected from the group consisting of a mercapto-functional organopolysiloxane, a vinyl-functional organopolysiloxane, a (meth)acrylamide-functional organopolysiloxane and a (meth)acrylate-functional group.
